How and when do I report a boating accident?
Saturday, Sep. 18th 2010 6:14 AM
Boat operators or owners must make a written report of a boating accident to DBW when a person dies, disappears, or is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first aid or when total damage to all vessels involved and other property is more than $500 or there is complete loss of a vessel. Forms are available through most Sheriff’s and harbormaster’s offices and many police departments or online at www.dbw.ca.gov/PDF/AccidentForms/BAR.pdf .
